Indigenous Anarchism is a Libertarian Left variant of post-colonial anarchism that believes in creating a kind of anti-colonial nationalist anarchist society after they topple over the oppressive colonialists. Many argue that anarchism had been the traditional structure of indigenous people across the Americas for generations such as with the Haudanoshonee Confederacy. And seek to rebirth it in the modern day. And eventually, form a borderless society in a confederation of indigenous nations and cultures without globalization akin to their traditionally held beliefs. Even if that fight means fighting against other anarchists who do not care for their struggle. Although they advocate for the protection of their traditions, they argue their traditions are based on promoting progress rather than more conservative principles and support values such as LGBT+ rights and equal rights between women and men. Although they advocate for traditions, they follow traditions somewhat similar to Progressive Conservatism in that they believe their teachings should seek to be socially progressive while also protecting socially conservative indigenous traditions. They however are somewhat more on the progressive side than their father Indigenism, seeing promoting social progress as a natural continuation of their traditional ideals applied to the current world. Sadly for them, alongside their father Indigenism, most other Western anarchists don't know they exist nor care, and those who do often call them racist for wanting to preserve their culture from colonialism. Many Western anarchists often compare them to White Nationalism or National Anarchism. Although he does have some sympathy from their other loyal indigenous friends who relate to his circumstances, his best friend being Neozapatismo ball due to their similar history. Often times they are at opposition to most modern leftist organizations in the West due to their lack of sincere concern for their movement.
Personality
Is often the angry and more confrontational son of Indigenism and more vocal about his deep-seated resentment towards colonists or outsiders who are ignorant about his culture, as opposed to his more reserved father.
Frequently gets annoyed when other liberal/leftist balls attempt to fight on their behalf, but only further expose their western ignorance of what indigenous people actually want, for example, saying natives can't call themselves "Indian" because it is deemed "politically incorrect" by non-native western society, or when others instead act supportive in entirely superficial, tokenist ways that are simply performative. Like his father Indigenism, he usually doesn't see most modern political movements, including that of the radical left as having any genuine interest in their strife for liberation, instead desiring to form local self-sustaining collectives of individuals apart of his community.
They are often extremely angry with most other balls due to their lack of understanding. Especially those from western cultures with Liberal or leftist ideals who tend to act "woke" or "politically correct" by speaking on their behalf, even more especially from those with open hostility with their ideas of "protecting their culture from genocide".
He often can be stereotyped as extremely uncompromising and insurrectionary who desires nothing more than taking back his people's land.
